I've never been excited about windows until I had my double hung impact windows put in last year. They are not only easy on the eyes and noise barriers,  I have a sense of security that I didn't have with regular glass windows. Thieves can't break these windows nor can hurricane debris. If we leave for vacation or have a storm coming, I have one less thing to worry about.

The double hung windows have a feature that lets you tilt the windows inward so you can clean both sides very easily. No more ladders on the outside of the house to climb to clean the windows on the second story.

 I have had a few problems with the bottom sash coming off the track so the window can't lock. Fortunately, Simonton has very effecient customer service. I have called them twice and within minutes they have solved my problems with no hassle.

 Impact windows are generally expensive and these are no exception but feeling safe, quiet and secure with easier cleaning is definitely worth it to me.

Thanks for sharing this info. I am actively searching for a brand of hurricane-proof windows to replace at least a couple of ours. I will look into these.
